Problembeschreibung

Updated urpmi and mdkonline packages are available for 8.1 and 8.2.
These updates bump up the version of urpmi and mdkonline to those
found in Mandrake Linux 9.0, which offer more features and better
support for updating packages via urpmi and Mandrake Online.
Updated urpmi packages for 9.0 fix a bug where urpmi would not
follow symlinks when downloading files; urpmi would download the
symlink instead of the file it pointed to.
Finally, for users of Mandrake Linux 8.1: The synthesis hdlist
format has changed so updating packages may be timely until urpmi
can retrieve new-style synthesis lists. This is done when a urpmi
media has been updated via urpmi.update. Until a new synthesis
file has been retrieved, urpmi will use the larger hdlist file.
Additional required perl libraries have been packed with this update
that are required for urpmi and mdkonline to operate properly so be
sure to install listed files for your particular distribution.
